Yes, the assemblies are binary compatible, but our Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll 
implementation does not support all the features yet (if you use Option 
Strict On, it will be easier for your application to wokr).

As ASP.NET need to dynamically compile pages, it depends on our compilers to 
run on linux, as so currently it works well only for C#.

I'll be carrying an effort for it to be useable,when Mono 1.0 comes alive 
and kicking next February...

For any project in the near term I recommend to use C#, period.
